Free English books for people learning English
200 books, all public domain and all free to download as EPUB from
Standard Ebooks. Banded by Flesch reading ease, which measures sentence and
word length — a useful signal, and only a signal. It can be fooled: Faulkner
scores as the easiest book in the whole catalogue, so anything modernist has
been kept off this list by hand rather than by arithmetic.
Levels are rough guides, not tests. Pick one that looks slightly too easy —
coverage matters more than
ambition . These are public domain in the United States, where Standard
Ebooks publishes from; terms differ by country.
